I’m a design technologist. My work sits at the intersection of product design, philosophy, and systems thinking.
I studied Data Science at Minerva University. Design was something I had to teach myself—first at Deepcore, SoftBank’s Applied AI subsidiary, then at SoftBank and DeSci Labs, where I worked on tools for academic search, collaborative peer review, and research publishing.
Since leaving the decentralized science space, my attention has turned inward. For the past year and a half, I’ve maintained a daily meditation practice. Mindfulness has grown from an interest into a way of being. That shift has sharpened my critique of the tools we live by: most interfaces amplify distraction and acceleration, not presence or compassion.
My current work begins from that recognition. With pond, I’m exploring how products can support slow living, awareness, and humane attention.
